The Glass Eye Industry.

A German paper makes the astound.
ing statement that more than two
million glass eyes are made every year
in Germany and Switzerland, while
one French house manufactures 800.
900 of them annually. The pupil is
made of colorod glass, and sometimes
red lines are painted on the inner sur
face to stimulate the veins. The
largest number of these eyes arc
bought by laborers who are exposed to
fire, and are consequently liable to
lose an eye. An artificial eye rarely
lasts more than five years, rs the secre-
tons of the lachrymal glands cloud tho
surface of the glass. DIR. Magnus has
pointed out that the expression Of the
eye is almost solely due to the move
ments of the upper cyelids; and this is
the reason that we may sec man with
a glass eye hundred times before we
discover his infirmity. Boston Tran

DR. r. w. Shufeldt has recorded an
interesting study of case of the repala
of the bill Of raven after it had been
shot off, The ball had carried away
the upper bill just forward of the
nostrils. The bone had grown again
so as to cover the injury, and the horny
covering, following suit. had encased
the stump formed by the bone. The
result Of natures surgery in the case
was that the injured part was left in
such condition that the danger of SUBJ
sequent inflammation was avoided,
while the form of the resulting stump
was as useful a one as could possibly be
expected to follow after wound OF
such character. - Boston Budget.

Ways of Savages.

A wife, among all races, was in
early times a captive of war; and
from this arose the custom of mar
riage by capture.
Australians, New Zealanders, Es-
quimauX and other savage people
are totally ignorant of the universal
custom ofsaluting with kiss.
The religious life and beliefs of
many savage races are hard to I'M
derstand. These people seem to
think that all things that move are
endowed with life; and so believe
that animals. water. flowers and 9TH
er moving things have spirits like
meu.
Maoris of New Zealand are proba-
bly, the most intelligent and well
hammered Of modern sayages. They
have given up cannibalism, have
adopted the European dress, are SUBJ
missive to law, and, when engaged
in war, use the milder methods of
Christian warriors.
Savage races are found to be origi-
nallv temperate, but as soon as they
come in contact with the civilized
men and learn the effects of strong
drink they use it to excess and rap
idly become drunkards.
The Malay, when in presence of one
whom he regards as above him. i'm
mediately sits down; the South AT.
rican turn their backs upon their bet
ters some of the Hindoo tribes re
veal their respect by putting the
thumb to the end of the nose and
wiggling the other fingers.
One of the worst races is that of
the Australian natives, who seem in
capable of receiving any considerable
degree of civilization. They have
been in contact with the Englist set
tiers for century, and have not yet
learned anything from them but
horseback riding and a taste for
strong drink.
The worship of animals is found
widely existing over the whole
world and this worship might pos
sibly be traced to the common hab-
it of calling families after animals
which easily led.to a belief that
families were related to or descended
from the animals whose name
they bore and ultimately this
grew into worship.
The lowest and most barbarous
race in the world is supposed to be
tribe called "Bosjesmans,' a branch
of the Hottentots. 1t is said of them
that instead of washing they cover
their bodies all over with thick lay
ers of dirty grease. 1t was of this
race that DR.. Livingstone, the fam
Gus African traveller, said: "a Bos-
jesman, certainly in his mien and all
his gestures, has much more resem-
blance to.an ape than a man."-Chi-
cdgo NeoUS.

A Ghost Story.

New HAVEN, CONN, April IT,
Charles L. Beecher, of No. 10 Mill
street, who committed suicide sun
day is now believed by many TO have
been driven 10 his death by the be-
lief that he was haunted by the ghost
of his wife. The fact that he took 50
much pains in preparing for his
death is thought to indicate that his
mind had given way. He first shot
his pet cog and then seated himself
in an easy chair and took aim through
the medium Of hand mirror and
put a bullet through his head. lie
had previously told some Of the
neighbors that he could not live In
the house owing 10 the frequent AZ.
pearance Of his wife, who died about
three months ago. He said that her
figure, increased TO twice It's usual
size, appeared to him on the wall 81
his room very often. The vision /.
ways seemed to be carrying babe n
its arms, and this. he said, was TIE
figure of an infant that his wife had
lost.
Confederation Of the ghost story
was given by a sixteen-year-oid girl
named Collar. who lives In the house
adjoining the one occupied b.
Beecher. Beecher had been seen
moving things out of the houso e
late. Some say he did not treat bis
wife well toward the end Of her llfe.
When she died some Of the ueigh-
bOrs went to Medical Examiner
White and told him that the case
would bear investigation. but moth
ing ever came of it. Beecher was
once very well-to-do boot aud shoe

Big Doctors Bills.

The public often maryels at the
prices paid by rich persons for art
objects. Greater surprise might be
caused by the sums given to physi-
clans for the preservation of health.
1t has been said that Miss Wolfe, the
hopeless invalid, owner Of S10,000,000
pays DR.. William Tod Helmuth
$4,000 a year to doctor her. She con-
firms those figures. Mrs. Alexander
T. Stewart retained three doctors at
an aggregate cost of at least $4,000.
and called in one of them nearly
every day. She had what seemed
like system, by which she abided
by the decision of two out of three in
matters of diet and medicine. Mrs.
William Astor pays to DR.. Fordice
Barker personally an average of
$4,000, always sending check for
double or treble the amount of each
bill rendered. Her idea is that by
rewarding his skill and vigilance lib
orally she will get the very best SER
vice of which he is capable. Mrs.
Cornelius Vanderbilt's physician is
DR.. w. s. Belden, and though her
health is excellent he is consulted
often, prevention being preferable to
cure, doubtless, and the belief is that
the prevention costs not less than
$4,000 annually.-Neo0 York Letter.

Three Hundred Norwegian Mnormons

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, May g.
Three hundred Norwegian emigrants
passed through this city Saturday
night for Salt Lake City, whittier they
go to join the Mormon colonies in the
west. They came by way of Norfolk
and are the most respectable emf.
grants that have arrived in this city
for many day. The party is COM
posed of men, women and children,
and they all seemed intelligent, were
we'll dressed and seemed to have
money. They seem to regard Utah
as possessing all the riches of the
promised land. They are accompa-
MED by several Mormon elders, who
have been in Norway on prosely-
ting tour. Many of them, however,
do not seem to understand the
polygamous nature of the Mormon
faith and several of the women when
told they were liable to become wives
of men already welded to other
wives, opened their eyes and re-
nounced all intentions of even SUBJ
hitting to such proceeding, Many
of them have been deluded into COM
ing to America and espousing the
Mormon faith.

On the result OF the recent munich
pal elections in Chicago and Cincin-
natl Senator Hale, of Maine, bases
the opinion that "the Democratic
party will be split up so badly by
abe labor movement that they will
be defeated in 1888 all along the line.
This disintegration of the party is
unmistakable, and the cohesion and
harmony of the Republican party is
not disputed" That no early vic
tories await the Democratic party in
the West is very apparent. Its
strength in the West always has
been greatest in the cities, where
now its condition is one of hopeless
DISCRIMINATION. Its only hope of
success in 1888 is in holding New
York and maintaining mistaken the
solidity of the South. 1t is a forborn
hope.

No Lens Than twenty-five Burslaries Laid

BosToS, MASS, Oct. 9-To run club
rooms on the proceeds Of burglaries is the
latest exploits OF Boston youths. Five
lads, averaging fifteen years OF age, arc
behind tine bars because Of their jovial
tastes, and another is in Montreal from
fear of arrest. They had fitted up in an
elaborate style trout room in a house
on Tabor street, at the Highlands, and
had named their organization "rhe
Tabor CLUB" 1t appears TO have been
well supplied with cash; also with cigars.
When the members visited the theater In
n body they had plenty of money to buy a
box II they desired. They also had plenty
oil money for supper aftcrward. The
"club-roomn always contained plenty OF
cigars. big box in the corner had lots
OF change In it at all hours This bore the
inscription in small letters, 'l'or mem.
bers only" Only In one instance dur
ing the clubs existence did the box get
empty, according TO the police. This was
several weeks ago, when one member
suspected another Of taking the last cent
to secure bunch of matches Two guns
were hung on one side OF the wall There
wasa big hitting bag in the center. The
library opposite the main door was
quite extensive. Among the volumes IL
contained the following half-dime novels

committed, either alone On two or three
at a time, no less than twenty-five breaks
in Roxbury and vicinity during the past
few weeks. The 'club" llourished, yes
feastcd on money stolen from stores
aud shops. None OF the boys
can say they were "diivcn to
steal, as their parents in every instance
kept them from want. Besides cash they
are accused OF having stolen "a diamond,
revolyers, lead pipe, sugar and divers
other things. The president OF the ''clubp
is charged with ten discovered breaks.
The police believe only part OF their ras-
cality has yet been discovered.
